rubeLL fAMILY CoLLeCTIon<br />
With this volume and its accompanying<br />
exhibition, the rubell Family Collection<br />
set out to generate a portrait of<br />
what they call “american exuberance.”<br />
the 64 artists selected, all citizens or<br />
residents of the United States, are or<br />
were particularly keen observers of<br />
american culture, economy and politics,<br />
regardless of their country of origin.<br />
out of 190 total works, 40 were<br />
made in 2011, many specifically for this<br />
exhibition. participating artists include<br />
matthew Barney, maurizio Cattelan,<br />
Felix gonzáles-torres, Wade guyton,<br />
Keith Haring, mike Kelley, Jeff Koons,<br />
Barbara Kruger, glenn Ligon, elizabeth<br />
peyton, richard prince, ryan trecartin,<br />
andy Warhol and Lisa<br />
Yuskavage. a number of the participating<br />
artists were asked to comment on<br />
the idea of american exuberance for<br />
the catalogue. their responses took<br />
many forms, from nate Lowman’s<br />
handwritten missive about Coca-Cola<br />
to rashid Johnson’s statement in the<br />
form of a personal ad.<br />

edited by Jonah freeman and vera<br />
neykov.<br />
Spanning several generations, from<br />
Dada to the present, Blind Cut explores<br />
notions surrounding the themes of<br />
fiction and deception. Questions<br />
regarding identity, authorship,<br />
originality and reality are posed in<br />
a range of methodologies, including<br />
depictions of fictional places, imagined<br />
personas, inaccurate histories and<br />
invented language. this book documents<br />
marlborough Chelsea’s 2012<br />
exhibition of the same name and<br />
expands upon its core themes<br />
with ancillary texts and ephemera,<br />
including interviews and other written<br />
works by alex Waterman, J.g. Ballard,<br />
richard prince, James Frey, pierre<br />
Huyge and philippe parreno, the<br />
John Fare estate, the anabel vale<br />

fontaine, et al.<br />
In 1914, marcel Duchamp purchased a<br />
bottle rack, called it a sculpture, put his<br />
name to it and the “readymade” artwork<br />
was born. It Is What It Is. Or Is It?<br />
considers the legacy of the readymade<br />
in contemporary artistic practice as<br />
the form approaches its 100th anniversary<br />
and attempts to recuperate the<br />
radicality of Duchamp’s foundational<br />
gesture. taking stock of the readymade’s<br />
simple materiality and its economy<br />
of means, this catalogue includes<br />
work by 18 artists working in a variety<br />
of media from sculpture to photography,<br />
painting, video and installationbased<br />
works. It Is What It Is. Or Is It?<br />
includes works by ellen altfest, Fayçal<br />

The Fertile Crescent<br />
Gender, Art, and Society<br />
ruTGers unIversITY InsTITuTe for woMen And ArT<br />
edited and with text by Judith k. brodsky, ferris olin. Text by Margot badran, kelly baum, Gilane Tawardros.<br />
The Fertile Crescent examines the work of 24 women artists of middle east heritage: negar ahkami (Iranian), Shiva ahmadi<br />
(Iranian), Jananne al-ani (Iraqi), Fatima and monira al Qadiri (Kuwaiti), ghada amer (egyptian), Zeina Barakeh (Lebanese),<br />
ofri Cnaani (Israeli), nezaket ekici (turkish), Diana el Jeiroudi (Syrian), parastou Forouhar (Iranian), ayana Friedman<br />
(Israeli), Shadi ghadirian (Iranian), mona Hatoum (palestinian), Hayv Kahraman (Iraqi), efrat Kedem (Israeli), Sigalit Landau<br />
(Israeli), ariane Littman (Israeli), Shirin neshat (Iranian), ebru Özseçen (turkish), Laila Shawa (palestinian), Shahzia Sikander<br />
(pakistani), Fatimah tuggar (nigerian) and nil Yalter (turkish). these artists all explore matters of gender, homeland,<br />
geopolitics, theology and the environment. the authors in this volume address transnationalism and the interaction between<br />
muslim culture and Jewish, Christian and euro-american cultures, resulting in U.S. and european relationships that are<br />
sometimes congenial and at other times problematic. the book also addresses the middle east’s cultural diaspora in black<br />
africa and South asia. The Fertile Crescent is published in conjunction with a fall 2012 multi-venue exhibition at rutgers and<br />
princeton Universities and the arts Council of princeton/paul robeson Center for the arts.<br />
